TITAN 505

Having recently replaced all my sources and amplification with new classic Naim separates, I had listened to demo units through Titan 808’s. I loved them but my budget and available space did not permit this indulgence! Instead I undertook research, spoke to dealers and heard 606’s, 707’s and 808’s at North West Audio Show. Subsequently I borrowed a pair of 505’s from my dealer, Acoustica, and was smitten. I was struck by their musicality, grip and responsiveness as well as the aesthetic and excellent build quality. It was then a no-brainer to order a pair of my own and I have been thrilled by them and the way they perform consistently across an eclectic music taste than spans classical, blues, country, bluegrass, acoustic and folk. I was also so taken by the recently unveiled Sigao that I have further invested in another power supply and additional power amp pending the arrival of my own Sigao and the prospect of going active with the 505’s in the very near future. Also a champion of quality British hi-fi I am approaching the peak of my system ambitions and looking forward to many hours of audio enjoyment.

I previously purchased a pair of Kudos Super 10A during covid so purchased blind on a whim.
One of the best decisions i ever made they surpassed any speakers i’d previously owned by some distance.
i started of using Chord Epic cables with them and then moved up to Chord signature each gained in performance.
I did try some other cables as an experiment and results were not great these speakers are fantastic but do need some decent cables
to let them shine and show how much Bass they have. Everything was well controlled and a great sound thought i had found my end game speakers
until i saw some Kudos Titan 505’s at a price i could not ignore, so what do i think.
Well first of these speakers are much larger and i do prefer the look of my older S10A but the sound well there it gets interesting,
i have gone all digital on my system and now only stream music from an internal hard drive to a DAC then into my amp.
I first plugged in the Titans and my first impressions were a bit confusing but after id positioned them correctly and let them run 10 mins or so like i always do
my amp sound far better after been warmed up for 10 mins its a Luxman solid state, have to say the reverb on instruments was far more natural sounding
The Bass was nice and tight but sounded more like actual drums and to my ears it although everything is pin sharp detail it sound like someone added a high end valve
output in my amp i finally got back the last but of what i had missed when i sold all my records and went digital, a move i have never regretted but did come up just a bit shy
of what i had been used to, but now I’ve got these it is like i say either valves maybe that’s a wrong way of putting it but i have a more full filling analogue type sound.
I contacted Kudos direct as was worried about warranty they assured me i still had 5 yrs left on them and re registered them into my name.
I could not be any happier with them and would recommend these or the super 10A to anyone looking at speakers.

The Titan 505 speakers are the best I have heard. They are the voice of my system and never fail to bring emotion and detail to various music I play through them. Any changes I make in the rest of my system are immediately evident.
The build quality is outstanding. They blend into my home aesthetically and I have had nothing but positive comments.
I can’t say enough great things about the Titan 505’s. They will be in my system for a long time.
The Hifi Attic were very helpful in demonstrating these amazing speakers in their showroom and in my home. Thank you Hifi Attic and thank you Kudos! Very proud to own such quality products.

I’m still running the speakers in, but already it is clear that they are superb. The musicality, clarity and detail are all brilliant. Build quality is second to none, and the speakers look fantastic in a domestic setting. Without doubt, these are the best speakers I have owned.

I was looking for speakers that not only had the sound signature I was looking for and complimented my electronics but also integrated perfectly in my living environment requiring fairly close placement to the rear wall. With a soundstage that fills an entire wall, imaging that makes the speakers disappear, details so realistic it makes you do a double take and a balanced presentation at low and high levels, these Titan 505 speakers have surpassed all my expectations. Add to that their beautiful finishing and very solid construction, I can’t imagine I will ever replace them. As a reference my electronics are Naim pre, power and streamer, Denafrips DDC and DAC and proximity to the rear wall that works best for me is 30 cm.

Owned these a few months having first heard them at Bristol 2019 playing a Spanish tinged version of Wish You Were Here, amongst some other very cool stuff on the Kudos playlist. They are stunning in every way: resolution, imaging, bass and build quality. I am hearing stuff on tracks I have played thousands of times that I have never heard before. They look stunning too. The best pair of speakers I have ever heard . And I have heard a lot! Service from The Department of Music, Petworth was also exceptional. I am a very, very happy customer.
